Holistic

Holistic

Refers to the whole system or "big picture". A holistic approach or attitude, as opposed to a single-purpose activity, attempts to look at all sides of a question or all parts of a problem in order to find a solution that is the best for the whole system and all entities involved (a holistic solution).
